groovy hangs during boot on ESXi when the version is greater than
10. Adding a serial port by default fixes this specific bug - increasing
the HW version will be for another branch.
This is because more investigation is needed into whether it is possible to
increment ddb.virtualHWVersion without disrupting Oracle VirtualBox images.
This patch currently only applies to the "ubuntu-cpc" project.
More and more logic has been going into the hook scripts to decide under which conditions they should run or not. As we are moving to parallelized builds of image sets, this will get even more complicated. Base hooks will have to know which image sets they belong to and modification of the dependency chain between scripts will become more complicated and prone to errors, as the number of image sets grows.
This patch introduces explicit ordering and dependency handling for scripts through the use of `series` files and an explicit syntax for dependency specification.
